The agencies under the aegis of my Department that will decentralise under the programme of decentralisation are the National Education Welfare Board (Portarlington), the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (Portarlington), the Higher Education Authority (Athlone), the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (Edenderry), the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (Edenderry) and the Further Education and Training Awards Council (Edenderry).
I am arranging for each of these agencies to provide me with the information requested. I will provide this directly to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
